The Pittsburgh Steelers signed veteran wide receiver Robert Woods to a one-year deal on Thursday.
The 33-year-old Woods has spent 12 years in the NFL, including the past two with the Houston Texans. Woods caught a career-low 20 passes for 203 yards in 15 games for the Texans last season.
Woods is joining a wide receiver group that includes two-time Pro Bowler DK Metcalf — acquired in a March trade with Seattle — and George Pickens, who is entering the final year of his rookie deal.
Woods has caught 683 passes for 8,233 yards and 38 touchdowns across his career and twice had more than 1,000 yards receiving. He won a Super Bowl ring with the Los Angeles Rams after the 2021 season, though he missed the playoffs after tearing the ACL in his left knee in November of that year.
The Houston Texans might be flying under the radar, but are they quietly building one of the NFL's best rosters? In this episode, we dive into why the Texans could have the third-best defense in the league, and whether the hype around stars like Danielle Hunter and Will Anderson Jr. is justified.
We also question Pro Football Focus and other ranking systems: Is Will Anderson being graded fairly among elite edge rushers?
Weak interior?
Are the Texans really in the low 20s for interior D-line rankings?
Plus, we talk about the latest on Juice Scruggs. Is he still in the mix, or just holding a spot with no reps? And don’t miss our take on whether the Texans have the best combo of offensive and defensive players in the NFL right now.
